I understand the importance of children having a healthy breakfast. However, neither this Department nor schools have any influence or control over the food children and their parents choose to eat at home or outside of the school day. Many schools provide breakfast clubs, which parents and pupils can choose to use if they wish.

The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) does not hold central information on the proportion of prisoners that have a dietary disorder. Providing this information could be achieved only at a disproportionate cost.
Currently there are no plans to carry out analysis of dietary disorders among prisoners.
The policy on meals for all prisoners is maintained and developed by National Offender Management Service (NOMS). Minimum specification and requirement relating to meals for prisoners is contained within a prison service instruction (PSI 44/2010) and its supporting operating guidance manual; it is applicable to all prisons.
NOMS has adopted and incorporated specific Government guidance issued by the Department of Health (DOH) and FSA on eating a healthy diet. These initiatives are based on the recommendations from the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food and Nutrition Policy (COMA) and the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN).
Prisoners who have a medical condition must consult an establishment health care professional who will prescribe treatment including any specific dietary requirements. The catering departments in establishments are notified of any medical diets along with advice on how to meet any additional need.

The latest estimate of the cost of poor diet was made by Scarborough and colleagues (2011) in their paper, 'The economic burden of ill health due to diet, physical inactivity, smoking, alcohol and obesity in the UK: an update to 2006-07 NHS costs'. This analysis showed that poor diet related health cost the NHS £5.8 billion in 2006-07.

There is a wide range of gluten free products available from supermarkets, health food stores and on prescription. Information on managing diet and obtaining gluten free foods is available on the NHS Choices website and that of the Food Standards Agency (FSA).The FSA, which has responsibility for food aspects of food allergy and intolerance, works closely with Coeliac UK and health professionals to ensure that patients are provided with the relevant information on food labelling to manage their diet. The FSA has recently collaborated with Coeliac UK to produce a leaflet for consumers to help them understand changes in the way gluten free foods are labelled and advise them on how to buy food which is safe for them to eat. The FSA has also produced a general leaflet on buying food for those with a food allergy or intolerance, including coeliac disease, which guides them through the steps they need to take when buying food and eating out.

The issues around breastfeeding are very sensitive. We have to find the balance between raising the benefits that breastfeeding can bring and not making people who feel that they cannot breastfeed feel bad about it. The hon. Gentleman raises two important points about weight loss and what is best for babies. It also has benefits in relation to allergies. I work with the Department of Health on all these issues.

Dieting and calorie counting can be positive as well as negative, as has just been pointed out. A positive development might be to have calorific information on alcoholic drinks as well as the unit count. Have the Government given any consideration to that?

It is January, which means that adverts in women's magazines everywhere are promoting diets and miracle weight-loss plans. The inquiry of the all-party parliamentary group on body image has heard evidence from the Royal College of Psychiatrists that not only do 90% of diets not work, but that for people who are susceptible, dieting can trigger eating disorders. How can the Government successfully promote fitness and healthy eating patterns against the onslaught of bad advice to skip meals, cut out food groups and obsess over every calorie, with all the negative health consequences that that creates?

I congratulate my hon. Friend on the work that she and the APPG do on body image issues. It is important that the link between dieting and eating disorders is looked at closely. She rightly mentions that 95% of diets fail. As a Government, we believe that a diet is not just for Christmas but must be about one's lifestyle. The best advice is common sense. It is to eat healthily all year round and take appropriate amounts of exercise.

It has long been a Liberal Democrat policy to make personal, social and health education compulsory in schools. That could include body image classes. Does the Minister regret that the coalition Government have set their face against making PSHE compulsory?

The Government are reviewing PSHE. The hon. Lady is absolutely right about body confidence. The Media Smart programme for schools is voluntary, but it has had the greatest ever number of downloads of any such programme. We should also use the big society and have other groups going into schools. Not everything should rest on teachers' shoulders.
